can you slow cook in it

To keep things warm like at a buffet it works great. To cook food inplace of a oven for like an hour or etc I found it did not do well. Maybe cooking something for 6 - 8 hours it would work. To do that I would prefer a crock pot which I have and use all the time. I am going to get rid of my roaster

You can cook anything in it....simply the best. Dont even hide it when clean, leave it on a stove...its got a very nice design to it

No! I have several slow cookers and this devise beats them hands down in most cases! Super fast, easy to learn to use cooks in 60 minutes or less. Love mine!!!

The pot is fine for slow cooking or keeping food warm. It can't be used for pre - searing meat, for example, which I believe is possible in some fancier slow cookers. Perhaps that is the source of your confusion.

You can brown meats, sautéed onions in it first and then slow cook. It is larger than most of the crockpots we have had as well. The instructions say you can bake in it, though we have not tried that.

The instruction manual says the glass lid can be used during slow cooking. However, this is apparently only true for the newer IP DUO model.

Karen, I think so, although I've never cooked those particular items in this slow cooker. However, I have cooked a bone-in 3 lb. pork shoulder roast in it with no problem

Yes, it's indirect heat which will take a bit longer. I like it because food doesn't burn. Slow simmer is excellent.

Yes. I just love this cooker. Browning and slow cooking all in one pan is awesome. And the pan is heavy, not light metal.

I just use it to reheat food. I don't believe you're supposed to cook in it. It is different from a slow cooker.

Yes, it can still be used as a traditional slow cooker! Just follow your normal 3-4 hours on high, or 6-8 on low. If using the baking or other settings, until you get used to it, follow the cookbook that came with it, or search out help on other sites.

My sister and I both have one, and she was sitting right next to me when your question arrived. We both agreed that this would be perfect in that situation. You can set it on slow cooker function and it will keep warm or turn off when it is done.

No it does not. If you leave it and forget it, it will continue to heat the crap out of whatever you have in there, at whatever setting you have it on. So just make sure you time yourself. It's great though. We make everything in it. Just turn it on low, that's why it's a slow cooker. it's fine.

It gets very hot. Matter of fact it got so hot the first time I used it I burned the dinner I was making! I have owned several slow cookers and never had that problem! So to answer your question...Yes! I very much so believe it will simmer for makin sauces, soups, etc. Very nice slow cooker. Just a word of advice...because of the stainless steel on the outside it gets extremely hot so make sure you or nobody touches while cooking!
